[Episode 10]
Yes, Woo Joo? Dad will be there soon Yeah
The parts you'll have to read most carefully
are the parts pertaining to transfer and dividing of shares
Make sure you read it carefully to ensure that
this won't potentially backfire on you somehow
If we do this, it'll be exactly as we talked about
- Um, what's this? - What do you mean?
The condition that says that you can lay off people when necessary
Does this mean restructuring, in other words?
Oh, that? It's because I've dealt with quite a number of Presidents who
hired a bunch of new people and did nothing after taking my money
As an investor, isn't it natural for me to want the best for the company?
Yes, of course Yes Yes
Thank you Thank you!
Looks like we're finally on the same boat, President Jo
I leave everything in your capable hands, CEO
Honey! I secured an investment for us!
And on top of that, it's 1 billion won!
How's that? Aren't I so skilled?
Geez, you're so annoying! Just hurry up and come home!
You always nagged at me for trying to keep this business alive, right?
Just you wait! I'm going to repay my debt to your mother
and make you live in the lap of luxury!
That'd be freaking awesome, right? Aren't you so happy?
Oh, he fell for it faster than we'd predicted!
There's nobody who'd want to turn down free money
And what about their last year's financial reports? Did you check on that?
Oh, of course
I'm not sure if there will be anything for us since they're such a tiny company
Oh yeah I've delivered the item safely
- Yes? - A package for you, ma'am
- Oh, Deputy Park! - Ms Mi Ri
- Hey there, Deputy Park - Didn't you leave work earlier?
Oh, I left something behind so I came here to get it
What about you two? What brings you here?
Oh, I still have to design some packaging but he asked me to have dinner with him
so I just had dinner before coming back here
If I knew Deputy Park was here, we could've had dinner together
Whatever
Oh yeah, don't forget that we're watching a movie this weekend
- Okay - Bye
You have a safe trip home too, Deputy Park
Okay
- Work hard - Okay!
Geez, she works too hard
You think anything will get done if you half-ass it?
You have to work hard to succeed and get recognition
What's so important about getting recognition from others?
Don't work yourself too hard either, Deputy Park
At that rate, you'll get sick High blood pressure! Diabetes!
You know, things like that!
We have one life, so we have to live enjoying it Don't you think?
You call that enjoying life? No, that's called living recklessly
It's true that I am living recklessly
but at least I don't go around stealing others' things or betraying people
So stop hating me so much
Let's get along, all right?
I wonder if he read between the lines there
Oh, don't worry about a thing!
We even prepared a contract with the salary you wanted already!
You've made a difficult decision, so that's the least I could do
Isn't that right?
- I'm heading out! - You better come home sober today!
Geez, nagging me first thing in the morning
You think I drink for my own health?
She really doesn't understand how business works!
Oh Why did he park the car in front of someone else's place?
Please, get in
Me?
Um, but who are you?
Yes, I'll pass the phone to him
- Who is this? - Do you like my gift?
Oh, CEO Lee! Yes, yes!
Hello! To what can I owe the pleasure of talking to you, so bright and early?
Wait, gift?
It's a gift from me to commemorate the signing of our contract
It's obvious that I should do at least that much for you now
Oh my oh my oh my All this? Oh my!
Um, if you don't like that car, I can get you a different model
No, no! Of course I like it!
It's the first time I've ever received such a great gift!
I really don't know what I could say or do um, thank you!
Thank you so much! I'll be seeing you later!
Oh, yes Thank you
What kind of nonsense is this, first thing in the morning?
I'm talking about Deputy Park!
He's your subordinate, so take good care of him!
You do know that I have important reasons for saying such things, right?
Important reason? What is it?
Geez, you're so frustrating! You said he was an upright, hardworking guy
If he is as skilled as you say, other places will be trying to steal him away
And if they did, I'm sure that he has nobody to talk to about this at work
So this is when you should go in and take real good care of him!
Nam Bong Gi Do you know something?
What would I know? I'm just saying that's how I feel about it
Geez, I'm so tired! Why am I so sleepy when I just woke up?
I guess I'll go back to sleep, then
- That's 5,000 won - All right, then
- What about you, Chief? - Um, I'll pick Number Two
Number Two? Number Two
- I hope she gets a big number - It's going, it's going!
- Damn it! - Damn it!
How could she get "Free?" Damn it all
Not fair
If he is as skilled as you say, other places will be trying to steal him away
And if they did, I'm sure that he has nobody to talk to about this at work
So this is when you should go in and take real good care of him!
What about you, Deputy Chief Nam?
- Huh? - Pick one already
Why don't you go first, Deputy Park?
- How about it? - Sure
- What? - Pick a number
Oh, the ladder game? I'm not really hungry, though
Don't be like that, and just pick one
- Want Number One? - Well, okay, then
What's with him?
Huh? Who's that?
Oh, it's the President!
All right, go get yourself some lunch
- What the hell? - What's with the car?
What is that? Is that a foreign car?
Let's go
President! Did you just get here?
There's nothing much going on at the company, correct?
But, um, did you just buy this car? I'm sure this one guzzles tons of gas!
Hey, see with you eyes! Your fingerprints are going to get on it
But, um, what were you all doing before you dashed out here?
We were playing the ladder game to see who's paying how much for lunch
Want to pick a number? It's for jjajjangmyun
Geez, do you think that I'd debase myself to your level?
Why not? You always do it with us
You're the one who suggested this method in the first place
Whatever Here, use this to order lunch
It's not like jjajjangmyun costs a lot why are you doing the ladder game?
This is why you people are stuck in your mediocrity
Don't be stingy, either Order some side dishes, too
Well, I'll be going then Oh, and clean up this garbage!
It looks so dirty!
Oh, Chief Ok
What's with him? He's usually such a miser!
I don't know what happened, but he's kind of acting like an asshole
- Wow, what an impressive car - Just how much does this cost?
- Huh? - Wow, look at the interior!
Do you know who the President has been seeing all the time lately?
I heard that they were some investors I don't know who they are, though
Nowadays, he goes to private lounges every night!
- Really? - Should I look into it?
No Just focus on the new eyeshadows we're working on
Understood, ma'am
It seems that Big Sis is leaving another huge task up to my capable hands
How was she ever going to manage without this Nam Bong Gi?
Yes? I'm on my way! Let's go!
Ms Jang Mi Ri About the changes to the design--
Yes, Chief Do you like the changes I made this time?
- I worked all night yesterday - It's great
- Give this over to our subcontractors - Really?
Yes, I understand!
[Restart Concept Plans Written by Nam Jung Gi]
You've made such a great decision!
Have high hopes, because you'll soon be recognized for your efforts
This will be our newest product! "Restart!"
"Restart," huh? I like it
How long do we have until the release date?
10 days, sir
Lovely is finally escaping its fate as a mere subcontractor!
Good work, Chief Ok
Restart, huh?
Restart? Restart?
It really feels great on your tongue
I didn't know that you were this skilled, Manager Yang
How did you manage to think of stealing this from them?
We save money on development, and bury our competition into the ground!
This is "catching two birds with one stone," sir
So we get a great product, and piss Chief Ok off
Make sure you take all the precautions you can
Of course, sir
And when are they preparing to release this, again?
10 days, sir
Then, how about we release it a day before they do?
Is that possible?
As to be expected of you, Director Kim!
I'll do as you've commanded
Restart Re-start Rest-art Restart
I like it I like it a lot!
Um, what do you think?
If that does well, I'm sure you won't lose out on your investment in us
You don't need to report every little detail to me like this
I don't get myself involved in companies' affairs just because I invested a bit
I'd like if if we could have a casual, comfortable relationship Like friends
Fr--friend? Oh, it'd be an honor!
But the plans here are quite good It was a worthwhile investment
Yes We have Chief Ok Da Jung, and she's a real star
She's quite skilled, though she has a bit of a fiery temper
Oh, I see Oh, yes I prepared one more thing for you
What? Oh, you've done enough! I've already received enough!
Are you ready, sir?
- Let us go - Oh, yes
Oh, I'm sorry Damn it
He was a formidable guy He was in and out so quickly
and I tried so hard not to get caught that I couldn't follow them
Go rent a camera with a telephoto lens
This isn't good enough
- And the rental fee? - I'll pay for it
Understood I'll get this done for sure
What's he doing now? What's wrong with him?
Don't engage in conversation with an agent on a mission
I guess he's taking another exam somewhere, or something
Geez I wish he'd make something of himself already
- I think that this is the best one - I agree
Should we go with this, then?
Ms Jang Mi Ri Deputy Park Do neither of you have any opinion on the matter?
- I, um like that one, too - Me too
Then, let's do as we've said, Deputy Chief Nam
Yes, Chief
Should we put it up on the online mall as soon as it's been produced?
Let's put it up with the rest of the products
But, what about making our banner have a countdown?
- Oh, great idea! - Yes, that'd be good
I'll put up a countdown for seven days right away, Chief
I hope that Pat Pat and our new cosmetics both sell like hotcakes!
What good would it do for it to sell well? We don't get anything in return
Um, nothing Forget it
Excuse me, then
Well, Mi Ri isn't exactly wrong
Manager Yang!
Yes, Senior? I'm a bit busy right now Do you need to talk to me?
Your team did a good job There's not much time until it launches, right?
We originally had a week left, but we're releasing it a day sooner
Oh, so things are going quite well, I assume?
Well, we're still in the middle of things
I heard you planned everything yourself Is that correct?
I just learned from watching others, but I can even manage this now
Geez, what are you doing?
Who sent this to you? Spill Now
Manager Ji Do you have no common sense?
I asked who the hell you got this from!
Manager Yang got hold of this by saying he was scouting someone
He wouldn't tell me who it was, though, so I couldn't figure that much out
Did Director Kim order him to do this?
That's a safe assumption
As you're well-aware, Manager Yang is quite devoted to Director Kim
Yes, I'm sure
You don't have a lot of time before the launch, so what are you going to do?
Gold is going to go ahead with this, I think
You have an advantage in production, though How about you release it sooner?
I'll have to think about it At any rate, thanks for letting me know
I didn't tell you this to hear that from you
I just don't like the way that Director Kim operates either
That's all it is
Yoon Ho
Thanks for coming to see Mom at the hospital
I'll be going now
Did you call for me, Chief?
- It really wasn't you? - What kind of nonsense--
Why would I share information about something that I made?
How could you doubt me like this, Chief?
They said that they were offering money and a promotion
That's more than enough of a reason to have done it
What do you take me for? It wasn't me!
- Can you promise that, on your life? - Yes, I can!
- And your father's name? - Yes!
- And Woo Joo's name? - Yes!
How long has it been since Deputy Chief Nam went in there?
About ten minutes, I think
What are those two doing, with the blinds down?
I'm not sure I wonder what they're up to
They really shouldn't be up to anything!
What about Deputy Han? She was having a hard time lately because of her child
- It definitely isn't her! - How are you so sure?
We've worked together for 15 years
She may be rough around the edges, but she's loyal!
She would never stab her comrades in the back
- What about Ms Jang Mi Ri? - Definitely not her, either
I've been watching her closely since she was hired
She always does her work well and is quite trustworthy!
She's not the type to ever do such a terrible thing!
- Then Deputy Park? - It's definitely not him!
He's the paragon of sincerity! He's so polite, too
He's not the type of person who'd do something like this!
I can vouch for Deputy Park
If none of these people could've done it, then who did it?
Um it wasn't you, was it?
Are you messing with me right now?
I'm sorry
You really can't think of a single person who could've done it?
I don't know about the other departments
but it definitely wasn't someone in the Marketing Department!
- Are you sure of that? - Yes, I am!
No to be honest, I'm not sure of anything
Nam Bong Gi If there's something you know, spill it all right now
Why did you mention Deputy Park last time?
- Tell me everything! - Why? What happened?
Our plans got to Gold somehow, and it's a disaster!
We might lose our newest product to them!
Oh my god So Deputy Park really did do it
Was it really that punk?
That's why I told you to take care of him before!
Oh well Looks like you guys are screwed!
- Geez Wait, Jung Gi? - Deputy Park, that bastard!
Oh my Looks like my brother is traumatized again
Yes, Big Sis? I'm on the move right now
No, there's nobody else in the car with him yet
What nice weather
Of course! I'll get them this time, for sure! Over!
You really have to pay me this time, all right?
Don't worry, Chul Gu I got a lot of money for expenses
You can't lose him! You can't get us caught!
Go, go, go!
Yes I'll confirm it and send it over right away Okay
We could've just talked in the office Why did you call me out here?
How much are you getting paid? I'm talking about Restart
You're the one who gave our plans over to Gold, right?
100 million? No, that's too small a figure
All of us worked so hard to make it, so 200 million?
Did you ask for at least 300 million won?
I don't know how much they offered you, exactly
but I'm sure they offered a lump sum that's hard for a guy your age to get
I'm sure it was a dizzying amount of money
That's why you lost all sense of good judgment and did such a thing
But even so, that's something that you shouldn't have done, punk
You shouldn't have done that!
- Why do you think it's me? - Don't try to weasel out of this!
Someone saw you do it!
That's right I did receive such an offer
And it's true that I was quite tempted by the money they offered me
I'm tired of being so damn broke, and
I hate not being able to confess to the woman I love because I have nothing
And I hated being at the mercy of a bastard like Manager Shin
Even so, how could you sell all of us out?
What, I can't? Do the other workers even know what I'm going through?
None of you give a damn about me
Nobody protects me because I retain my loyalty to this place!
- You punk-- - What good is it to be loyal?
I'll probably end up like you in ten years, or something
I didn't want to I didn't want to become like you
so I tried to go somewhere else!
But I'm not the one who did it
What?
I don't know why I didn't do it, either, but I didn't hand it over to them!
I retained what morals I do have left
It's not like anyone will give me recognition for that, though
Make sure to make me look good Make me look young and slender
Nice and slender!
- Hey, can you get a clear shot of him? - Yeah, I'll try
Okay Do it
Yes? I stuck really close to him, but there's something really off
- He's getting a makeover! - Okay
Keep me updated on the situation
Oh my They're putting the blinds down again
Is there really something going on between them?
- I wonder - Deputy Park!
Hey, do you know anything about this?
No Not a thing
I went and confirmed it It's definitely not Deputy Park
Really? That means it has to be either Deputy Han or Ms Mi Ri
How about just announcing the situation to everyone?
No If we do that and Gold hears about it, they'll only make it worse for us
Do you have any ideas, then, Chief?
Let's go with Plan B
Why are there so many secrets between you two lately?
Share the work-related stuff with me, at least
Deputy Han Let's talk in the conference room
What's going on? Something is definitely up
Yes, Chief? Understood
- A top coat? - A lip lacquer?
Yeah Restart is trying to appeal with bright colors
We should come up with a top coat to help its staying power
We only have a week left, but it'll be possible, right?
I mean, if we have no other choice, I guess so
Restart is trying to appeal with bright colors
We're thinking of releasing a lip lacquer to help with that
We only have a week left, but you can design its packaging, right?
Well yes I guess so
This has be to kept a secret, so ensure that only you know about this
I understand I'll keep it a secret
I'm relying on you
Yes, I'll make sure to keep it all a secret
Then, I'll be going now
All right, please face forward One, two!
Can you look a bit more toward your right?
And your shoulder more to the right One, two!
Naturally One, two
- Raise your arms - My arms?
Okay One, two!
- All right, great - Thank you
Do you like this second gift that I've prepared for you?
Oh, I love it! It really is an honor!
I'm sure the photos will come out wonderfully, President Jo
Oh, you're making me blush
- I'll leave it to you - Yes, I'll take care of it
In exchange, get us an event-shooting gig later
I'll be in touch
All right, I think that's enough Shall we do the interview now?
Oh, yes Ask me anything I'll answer with the utmost sincerity!
All right, let's get started When did you start your business?
Hmm, how should I begin this? During the IMF incident in '97
Geez, I told you to just finish things up and go home!
Why did you ask someone with a dinner meeting to come back to the office?
We're this close to the launch date What have you been doing all this time
while letting all this paperwork pile up?
There were more important matters to attend to than some paperwork
That's why I've been out, obviously
And what's more important than this, exactly?
PR, getting funds Et cetera, et cetera
You know, things I must do as Lovely's CEO
I'm only telling you this, Chief Ok, but
our company has gotten itself an investor!
And this investor wants to give us 1 billion won!
So if our products are a hit this time, we can even make 10 billion won!
How about it? Pretty amazing, huh?
- And just who is this person? - He's an angel investor
He's also quite interested in beauty-related businesses
And it seems that our Lovely fit the bill nicely!
That's how well our company is doing!
I'll introduce him to you later, so say your hellos then
Did you do a thorough background check on the investor?
He's really a great guy!
He's cool, and dandy, and kind
There's no such thing as free money in this world
You cannot ignore the power of money, sir!
And just who is doing that?
I'm obviously trying so hard because money is a force to be reckoned with
Do you think you can do business with just your ideals?
If you give one, you get one That's what business is about
I'm just saying this because you can end up losing more than you gain!
Geez! I'm the President here!
I'll take care of this, so you just take care of the product launch
Inconspicuously
What what is this?
- Please enter the password - Password? What do we do?
Damn it! Hey, back up, okay?
Just take a look! How am I supposed to back up?
Damn it!
What the hell are you people doing?
Back up, man! Back up!
Back up, please Yeah Thanks
What good will it do for me to remain loyal, though?
I'll just end up like you in 10 years or so
I didn't want to end up like you, and that's why
Do you think that I'm pathetic?
- What are you saying? - Me
Do I seem like my life sucks?
Well, you're not exactly a national hero
But it's not like you're a huge troublemaker, either
Well, it is true that your life seems a bit boring
How should I put this a stuffy life?
It really does seem that way, after hearing you say that
I'm the head of this household, and a mere peon at work
I did try to live my life as best as I could
but my life seems like a stuffy one
And I'm someone that my subordinates don't want to end up being like
Even though I couldn't change the world with what I've done
I did adhere to my principals and morals
and tried my best in what I did
But he said that I've lived life without getting recognition from anyone
All right, take a good look, everyone!
The President is like, totally famous now! How nice
- What is it? - He's in the financial section
There's an article about him, and on the first page of the section, at that!
Here So, what does this mean for us?
The world has finally begun to acknowledge Jo Dong Gyu!
That's what this means Take a good look, all of you
The photo came out looking oh-so nice!
Brother-in-Law!
President Jo Dong Gyu, in the financial section!
What do we do about this?
There's even an article now, saying to look forward to our new product!
We'll be utterly humiliated if the truth about our plans is revealed!
- Is Plan B going smoothly? - Yes
But we really don't have much time left!
No matter what happens, make sure everything is done on time
Without making our product into a hit, it'll be hard to turn the tables
Yes, ma'am I'll do it, no matter what it takes
Yeah, it's me What happened?
- They're preparing one more product now - And what is that, exactly?
A lip lacquer
- A lip lacquer? - A lip lacquer
Yes, just a moment Yes, I'll confirm it one more time and call you
What are you and Chief Ok whispering together about?
Oh, nothing Just about the new product
I'm a good person So tell me the truth
Are you to planning to fire someone among us?
Is it me?
Was that supposed to be a joke? It's not funny at all
- Geez - Then Jang Mi Ri?
Oh, so I'm right
I'm totally right Right, Deputy Chief Nam?
It's nothing like that Geez
I talked to the factory, and they said we never ordered a top coat
Why did you lie to me? What is it, exactly?
You're not going to tell me what's really going on?
What are all four of you planning, without me?
To be honest, Deputy Han
Chief Where are you going right now?
You'll see when we get there
Oh Sure
- Jang Mi Ri did? - Yeah
Then, what? You doubted me, and that's why you threw the bait at me, too?
Wow, you're making me feel really insulted right now
I'm sorry, but I had to
Can't you call it even with the time when Chief Ok sent you that babysitter?
You were so thankful to her about that back then!
Yeah, that's right Sure, let's do that
- Yeah, let's - Is that what you thought I'd say?
This is this, and that's that! What do you take me for?
I can't take this anymore I'm going to protest to Chief Ok
And you're just the same!
- I told you, I'm really sorry! - Let go!
We were really in a pinch! Can't we just put this behind us?
So, what's going to happen to Mi Ri now?
Chief Ok took her She told us to act like we don't know anything
How could she do this? Sheesh, seriously!
- Ms Jang Mi Ri - Yes, Chief?
What's the matter?
Jang Mi Ri Why did you do it?
The cosmetics world is a small place
Did you really think we wouldn't find out?
I thought that you wouldn't be able to do anything even if you knew
I was sure I'd be exposed sooner or later
But I didn't care, as long as I could escape this place
It makes me miserable to have to work at the same place as Manager Shin
and I couldn't stand having other employees talk about me anymore, either
Stop whining No excuse can justify what you did
Whine?
Does it seem like I'm whining to you, right now?
You know, I'm still a temp employee who doesn't know when she'll be fired!
So do you really think that Gold will take you on as a full-time employee?
Nobody will recognize things you've accomplished through unjust means
Would you want to hire someone who betrayed the company they worked at?
And even if they do take you, you'll be treated like trash!
I know that! I'm aware of that!
That's why I did end up doing it, but regretted it immediately!
I'm sorry, Chief! I'm so sorry!
You can't solve everything with money
If you didn't like something, you should've fought to change it!
You idiot
I I'm getting fired, right?
Do you even want to keep working at Lovely?
You're not going to forgive me
Of course I can't forgive you
I'm going to keep you by my side and harass you
I'm sorry, Chief! I'm so sorry!
What? What are you saying? What do you mean, Restart?
President Myung got an OEM order in from Gold for pigmented products
and its name is "Restart!"
I'm so shocked right now, which is why I'm calling you to confirm!
Oh my gosh What kind of nonsense is that? Huh?
Hey, Chief Ok! Chief Ok!
The product that Gold is about to launch is also called "Restart!"
Just what is going on?
What's with your reaction? Why is nobody else shocked?
I'm telling you that Gold is making the same thing we are!
President, let's chat for a bit
- What? They stole our plans? - There's no way it's a coincidence
The Manager of Purchasing at Gold had our plans
So that means that someone handed them over? Who was it? Huh?
It's too soon to say that He could've just stolen it himself
The important thing here is that Director Kim knew all about this
What?
Are you sure about this?
There's no way things would've progressed so quickly otherwise
Damn it!
What is it? Want a red bean jelly bar?
What kind of thuggish tactic is this? Huh?
Gyu Line? Gyu Line, my ass!
How could you be so two-faced?
Even so, bringing CEO Lee into this--
I told him to come He's investing in us right now
so he should be aware of what you did!
How could you do that? What a dirty tactic
It wasn't me I'm telling you, I really didn't know
All I did was sign off on the paperwork that I got
- Did you call for me, Director? - You bastard!
Is it true that you stole the lipsticks from Lovely?
- Is it true that you stole it from them? - Excuse me?
It's definitely this bastard who gave our plans over to Gold
- Stop it, Manager Shin! - Stop what, huh?
This kind of bastard should be taken to the cops right now
and be arrested for what he did!
Do you have evidence? I asked if you did, asshole
Evidence? I'm the evidence, bastard!
- You have betrayal in your blood - I'm going to go crazy
Look at this asshole's expression You look like you're about to hit me
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
How much did you sell out for, huh?
Was it enough for you to pay off your debts and get your own place?
Or did you get a officetel-style apartment?
Shut your damn mouth!
Deputy Park! Calm down!
- Why you get over here, bastard! - Ow! Ow!
I told you to make a new product, not to steal someone else's!
Even if you got the plans, you shouldn't have done it!
You ridiculous bastard get over here!
- You thieving bastard! - I'm sorry, sir!
Yeah, hit me Hit me! I'll report you for assault and thievery!
- So hit me! - Deputy Park!
Calm down, Deputy Park! I said calm down!
- Deputy Chief Nam - Deputy Chief!
You stop it, Deputy Park And you too, Manager Shin!
If there was an issue with our team, it's my fault!
I'll take responsibility, so don't you dare touch my subordinate!
What are you doing? Apologize to President Jo right now
I'm so sorry, President Jo! Please let me go this once!
This won't be solved just by him pleading like this!
Cancel your new line right now
Well, I can't do that We've already launched it
What?
We've already launched it, using the name "Restart!"
- I can't cancel it - What am I supposed to do, then?
I'm sorry That's why I beat the crap out of this guy!
- Don't be mad, okay? - What do we do with him, CEO?
Um, as I said before, your side will have to take care of the name issue
- Why, you-- - President Jo!
In exchange, we'll pass on what we'd planned for the next season to you
Okay? That fixes everything, right?
We're still the Gyu Line, right? Right? Gyu Brothers for life, right?
I can't even speak, I'm so angry!
- I'll be the only Gyu! - How could you be? There's two of us!
Let go, damn it!
Regardless of all this, the fact is that there's now an issue with the launch
I'm sorry, CEO
It's a shame that such a thing happened as soon as I invested
I have nothing to say, sir
You'll need to discipline your staff
You'll need to prune the dead branches
Do you mean--
Let's fire whoever is not absolutely essential to the company
Do you mean that you'll be doing some restructuring?
Well, somebody has to take responsibility, don't they?
- I'll take responsibility - How?
So much money has been invested, and the products have already been made
Are you saying that you'll strip down? (Quit on your own volition)
If that's what you want, that's what we must do
Are you trying to start something with me right now?
No I'm saying that I'll take responsibility
Whatever Just shut down the launch of our newest item
- No We'll proceed as planned - Are you out of your mind?
When I think about how people were once saying that we were copying Gold
I still get so stressed What are we going to do by launching the same thing?
I never want to hear that we're copycats again
No! No! I refuse!
I'll make it so that we won't be called copycats
The concept is the same, right down to the name, so what are you going to do?
Just trust me, and wait
Are you doing this because you really want to "strip down?"
I'm sorry, but I'm not the type of person who strips down just anywhere
Then, I'll be going now
I'll make sure that Plan B is completed on time
You won't have to take responsibility for everything alone
I know
Ms Jang Mi Ri? What brings you here?
- Deputy Park - What's wrong?
Did something happen to you?
To be honest, I'm the one who did it
- I sent our plans to Gold - Ms Mi Ri?
I'm sorry You're getting enough crap from Manager Shin due to me as it is
but this time, people assumed it was you because of me
I'm so sorry that I keep inconveniencing you like this!
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
I'm okay
- Ms Mi Ri Don't cry - I'm so sorry!
What can I do to make up for this?
- Hello - Why are you out so late?
I just came back from my English cram school
- Do you have rice at home? - No
- Okay - I do have bread
Wow! This is so cool! What is this?
Don't touch it
- Eat the sandwiches - Okay
- Wash your hands - Okay! I'll eat after I wash my hands
Ouch, that's hot! Geez
Did Woo Joo get lost? He should be home by now
- I'm back! - Oh, my child!
You're a bit late today, huh? Hey, you're hungry, right?
- I'll set up dinner right now - I already ate
You did? Where?
At a friend's house
A friend's house?
- Deputy Chief Nam - Oh, Deputy Park!
I knew you'd be here like this Did you have dinner yet?
I just had some cup noodles
Have some of this
Oh, you didn't need to waste your money on me! Just kimbap would've been fine!
Hey, let's eat it together Have a seat
Wow, looks delicious! Hey, eat up!
- I'm sorry - Huh?
Honestly, I really like you, sir And I learn a lot from you
To be honest, I feel sorrier
If I'd done better, you wouldn't have felt that way
I'll try harder from now on, as your senior and as an adult
- Aren't you mad? - About what?
You do all the most grueling work alone behind the scenes
but other people step up and take credit for it
See? You're the only one working late today, too
while the President is having a grand old time at some private lounge
It's not important whether or not others recognize the efforts I put in
The most important thing is for you to acknowledge yourself
Don't you think so?
Yes
- Sorry for hitting you earlier - No, it's fine
Thanks to that, I was able to come to my senses
Here, eat
Oh, burning the midnight oil
Hey, why are you here! If you left, you should be taking care of your family!
My husband came home early unexpectedly
And my Ji Ho is sleeping, too I made this for dinner today
You can have it as a midnight snack
- Oh, you were all here! - And what brings you here?
I heard you were working late, so I brought a cake for you
- Good job, Jang Mi Ri - Is there anything I can help with?
Something you can help me with? Sure! There's a ton!
Oh, he's going to put us to work Come over here
- Let's eat! - I'll be taking this!
Shall we do that, then?
Wow, this tastes great, Deputy Han
- Try this, too - Ms Mi Ri, the fried food is great
Wow, this is quite good, Deputy Han!
Here, have some
No, I can't! I'll get fat if I eat late!
If you acknowledge yourself even if others don't acknowledge you
there will eventually be people who'll see that, too
- Have some more, Ms Mi Ri - Okay
Wow, that's delicious! Where did you get this? It's so good
- Eating late at night is the best - Here, eat this
This tastes good
I think it's been a while since we've eaten late all together
This is seriously so touching
All right wow! Looks delicious
Thank you for the meal, Big Sis!
Wow, it's delicious
I only managed to get one photo, but I have an idea of where he lives
But you know, the security there was really something else
But um, how's the new product launch going?
I heard that your information was handed over to Gold
We're in the middle of Plan B right now
Wow, Plan B? How exciting!
Would it okay if I ask what exactly it is, Big Sis?
- 99 different kinds - What? 99 different kinds?
- 99 different kinds? - 99 different kinds?
99 different kinds?
So you're making 99 different colors of lipsticks?
Yes Our concept for our new line will be "personal color"
It's to encourage people to find a color that suits their skin tone
But even so, you don't need 99 shades
Will it be possible to sell all those after making so many different kinds?
Where would I get the money to do that?
You told us that we could make a hundred if we wanted to
Who did? I did?
Ten lipstick colors? Make 100 if you want to!
I'll go get us a tremendous amount of funding!
- Do you remember now, sir? - But even so
- We don't need 99 colors - Don't worry, sir
I'm sure that this will do very well in the market
- Can I trust you? - Yes
I told you, didn't I? I'm not the type to strip down so easily
What?
99 colors, huh? Wow, Ok Da Jung
She really knows how to compete
This is amazing 99 colors of lipsticks, huh?
- And how's the response? - It's on top of the most searched terms
and it's selling like hotcakes
Gold's "Restart" that launched yesterday isn't getting any recognition at all
That Ok Da Jung really isn't your average woman
Hey, hey! I knew I could trust in you, Chief Ok!
Yay, Chief Ok! I knew I could trust her!
The 99 color lipstick is a hit and she crushed Gold!
President! Buy us all dinner for the first time in a while!
All right! I'll do it!
I'll make a reservation at a pig rib place
Hey, don't do that We'll eat beef today!
- Beef? - Beef!
I'll buy Hanwoo today! Let's go to Majangdong (Meat District)!
Hey, where did Chief Ok go?
She said she had something to take care of today, and left early
Oh You don't know anything about this, Deputy Chief Nam?
She didn't tell me anything, either
Oh, really? Let's go to Majangdong, then!
Let's go! Let's go!
I'm sorry for asking to meet up You must be busy, Investigator An
Oh, it's nothing Have you been doing well?
I've been doing okay
I wanted to ask you if that man came to Korea
I believe it's been about two months since he came back, yes
- I see - You don't seem surprised
Were you already aware of this?
He sent me something akin to a warning
Aw, yes! I finally got it! Nice, nice, nice
Nam Bong Gi, you really are-- huh? Where did he go?
Um, what is it?
Can you send my regards to them?
Excuse me? What do you mean? To who?
You're here because Da Jung sent you, right?
He was super charismatic He asked to see you sometime
Lady!
What are you doing here, Nam Woo Joo?
And what's that in your hand?
[Uncle, Grandpa, Me, Dad, Cool Idiot]
[Dad, Cool Idiot]
You're here?
